LKG1K152MESYAK

The LKG1K152MESYAK is a snap‑in, radial aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s LKG series, specified at 1500 µF and 80 V with ±20% tolerance. It is designed for high‑grade audio equipment and for roles that require bulk energy storage, smoothing and decoupling on power rails where low loss and audible performance matter.

As a Type‑I (Gold Tune) grade LKG part, this capacitor targets high fidelity audio applications while offering robust electrical characteristics including a 2.2 A ripple current rating and an operating temperature range from −40 °C to +85 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF at 80 V with ±20% tolerance for stable bulk storage on higher voltage audio rails.
• Audio‑oriented Grade — Type‑I (Gold Tune) designation in the LKG series, developed for high‑grade audio equipment with priority on tone quality.
• Low Loss — Specified loss tangent (tan δ) of 0.25 (measurement frequency: 120 Hz, 20 °C), supporting lower dissipation in AC conditions common to audio circuits.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current 2.2 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective smoothing under typical power supply ripple loads.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1030 µA to inform bias and bleed‑current budgeting in designs.
• Endurance & Temperature — Rated for 1000 hours at 85 °C and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C for reliable performance in thermal stress conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Snap‑in, radial can package (φ20 × 40L) for secure board mounting and easy installation in power assemblies.
• RoHS Compliant — Manufactured in compliance with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• High‑Fidelity Audio Amplifiers — Bulk supply smoothing and power‑rail decoupling where tonal performance and low loss are important.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk capacitance for voltage stabilization on higher‑voltage audio and signal‑processing rails.
• Preamp and Signal Chain Support — Energy storage in circuits that benefit from stable DC rails and controlled ripple behavior.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑focused design: Type‑I (Gold Tune) LKG grade emphasizes tone quality, matching the needs of high‑grade audio equipment designs.
• High voltage capability: 80 V rating enables use on higher rail voltages without series stacking, simplifying design and layout.
• Robust ripple handling: 2.2 A ripple current rating at 120 Hz supports demanding smoothing duties in amplifier power supplies.
• Predictable endurance: 1000 hours at 85 °C specification allows designers to plan for long‑term performance under rated thermal stress.
• Practical mounting: Snap‑in radial can package (φ20×40L) offers a secure mechanical connection for board‑level power components.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in regions requiring restricted substance adherence.
